Outline of Final Research Achievements

On 12 March 2011, earthquake-induced rock avalanches in Nagano and Niigata prefectures, Japan, traveled long distances over snow on gentle slopes. However, the conditions and mechanisms of long travelling has not known. We investigated the rock-on-snow avalanches in the field. Based on the field observations, we explored the influence of snow properties on the travel distance of a rock-on-snow avalanche in two experiments. (1) We dropped 0.5 and 3.0 kg of angular gravel, or gravel mixed with snow or water, onto a slope covered with snow. (2) We dropped 6 tons of rock and soil onto a 50-m-long slope covered with natural snow. In the first experiments, gravel mixed with snow traveled as far as gravel without snow, but gravel dropped on hard snow traveled farther. In the second experiment, impulsive compression produced a hard snow layer carrying rock and soil.
